Black Tie, Black Heart: Gothic Jewellery for Grand Entrances & Late Nights
Old-world glamour meets haunted romance in a collection made for your most anticipated engagements
By: The Lace Ledger Staff
The invitations are arriving, the champagne is chilling and the impending holiday party season is giving us every excuse to dress extravagantly.
Don't expect your grandmother's pearls, unless Grandma had a few skeletons in her jewellery box... Here, spiders are rendered in exquisite silver and skulls find themselves in sophisticated company. Victorian mourning hands lend a sentimental touch, while Art Deco influences bring a little Jazz Age decadence to the proceedings. Every detail has been carefully considered, including those that might raise an eyebrow across the dinner table.
These are the finishing touches that become the main attraction. Each exquisitely crafted piece has a story to tell and a remarkable talent for starting conversations, with enough elaborate detail to reward a second glance. A crowded social calendar provides plenty of excuses to indulge in jewellery worthy of the occasion.

As your calendar fills with summer weddings, family get-togethers, rooftop parties and late-night celebrations, we’ve broken down three ways to pull gothic red carpet glamour into your looks this season.
